중심단어
Acute aortic syndrome, aortic dissection, branch artery pseudoaneurysm, embolization
증례
41세, 남자환자
임상소견
Acute aortic dissection, Stanford type A로 본원으로 전원된 환자임.
진단명
Aortic branch artery pseudoaneurysm accompanying aortic dissection
영상소견
CT에서 Stanford type A 대동맥박리(aortic dissection)이 proximal ascending thoracic aorta에서부터 infrarenal abdominal aorta까지 관찰되며 dissection의 false lumen은 주로 thrombosis가 된 intramural hematoma (IMA)로 관찰되며, abdominal aorta의 celiac trunk 직상방부터 renal artery 직하방까지는 false lumen에 일부 contrast enhance가 되는 blood flow가 관찰되고 있고 3개의 reentry tear가 proximal ascending aorta, right 11th intercostal artery, 그리고 right renal artery에서 관찰됨. 혈관조영술에서 atypical aortic dissection이 ascending aorta부터 infrarenal abdominal aorta까지 extension되어 있고, intimal tear가 CT 소견과 동일하게 관찰됨.

시술방법 및 재료
Right 11th intercostal artery를 microcatheter(Renegade, Boston Scientific)와 microguidwire(Transend wire, Boston Scientific)로 selection하여 Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) particle 700-1000um로 색전술을 시행하고 N-butyl cyanoacrylate(NBCA)와 lipiodol을 1:3으로 혼합한 후 추가로 색전술을 시행하고, right renal artery에 stent-graft를 insertion함.

Selective angiography showed branch artery pseudoaneurysm origin from the right 11th intercostal artery. N-butyl cyanoacrylate(NBCA) embolization was performed for this lesion.
고찰
Aortic dissection의 thrombus로 채워져 있는 false lumen내 또는 intramural hematoma(IMH) 내부에 blood flow가 있는 small area가 있을 때 aortic branch artery pseudoaneurysm 또는 penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer(PAU)를 생각할 수 있다. CT에서 감별점으로 aorta와의 communication이 보이지 않고, 위치가 nonpleural portion인 경우, 그리고 contrast media로 filling되어있는 부위에서 branch artery가 시작되는 것이 관찰되는 것 등을 들 수 있다. branch artery pseudoaneurysm은 정상적인 혈관의 epithelium을 가지고 있지 않는 구조물로서, true lumen과 branch artery 간의 도관(conduit)으로 작용하게 되며, 색전술로 치료할 수 있다. 이 증례에서도 branch artery pseudoaneurysm은 색전술로 치료하고 right renal artery에 위치한 intimal tear에 대해서는 stent-graft로 치료하였고, 약 5년 후 시행한 follow-up CT에서 이전에 관찰되던 aortic dissection과 thrombosed false lumen이 완전히 소실되었다.
Fig. 3
Follow-up CT scan was performed after one week from embolization. Complete exclusion of right 11th intercostal artery pseudo aneurysm was noted.
Fig. 4
A-C. 5-year follow up CT scan showed complete resolution of previous noted thrombosed false lumen and aortic dissection, with also disappeared previous noted NBCA mixture, but still remained focal intimal tear at the proximal ascending thoracic aorta. Stent-graft patency was also noted at the right renal artery.
